Amazon boned my order twice for the Mardel Maracyn 2. I'm tired of waiting and went out and bought API TC Tetracycline. If my fish has Hemorrhagic Septicemia or some other internal infection this should knock it out. If not, I'm not sure what will help him recover. -He's still eating...

Should I think about some medication? Edit: After doing more research I feel my fish may be exhibiting symptoms of Hemorrhagic Septicemia . -Sluggishness -Losing weight -Red splotches on head Ordering Mardel Maracyn 2, should have it in his isolation take by tomorrow. Might get some...

Antibiotics? Really...

Quick update. He is now swimming around alittle more in his isolation tank and he is also eating a health amount too. Normal he is bullied at feeding time and he can finally get some good food. He still need healing time. The bottle water is helping to drastically drop the ammonia levels which...

So is my fish dying slowly? I'm no fish phycologist but it looks sad and it makes me feel sad. I want to help buy upgrading to a 55-60 gallon tank is huge. Not only financially but the room required for it. Anything else I should be thinking about here? Am I missing anything?

I have 3 goldfish (3-4 years old) in a 30 gallon tank with a Fluval Aguaclear 50. One of my oldest fish (not a fancy) has been lethargic and bottom sitting for about a month. All day he hides in the corner and just sits on the bottom. Often he springs up when he hears the auto feeder or if we...
